The Evangelist.

And John answered him, saying, Master
we saw one casting out devils in thy name,
and he followeth not us: and we foroad MIN,
because he followeth not US.
Rut Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there Is
no man which shall do miracle In my
name, that can lightly speak evil OF me.
For he that is not against US Is on our part
-Mark TX: IS, 80, 40.
Mr.. Leitch, evangelist, has been speaking tc
our people from the Methodist pulpit for two
weeks, morning and evening, to daily In
crsasing numbers of our citizens, many o
whom seem to be interested in his SER
vices. The reports of his previous con-
duct In the pulpit, at other places, together
with his questionable speeches during the
first few days OF his visit to this place, had
done much to create n current of feeling pref
judicial to his success, but against all this ne
has labored the harder and 1t now seems to
us, that he is in the midst OF good work
which may yet be instrumental In bringing
about gracious revival among bur people
Already sixteen persons have professed con-
version and expressed the desire TO connecl
themselves with the church.
The colored people attend in large numbers
every night. and it is thought that many OF
them have been seriously impressed.
While we think 1t well for every man who
seeks to preach the gospel to join one of the
churches, yet If an evangelist can do any
good to any body, even in an irregular way

Take Sides.

I have in my possession circular Of a
brewers association, circular sc IN
all candidates for Office. It has been
sent, or will be sent, in form to be fill
ed up, saying whether the candidate Is
a friend of the liquor traffic or its foe,
and if he is an enemy of the business.
then the man is doomed, or. if he de-
clines to fill up the circular, and sends it
back, his silence is taken as negative
answer. 1t seems to me it is about time
for the seventeen million professors of
religion in American to take sides on this
question, which will yet be thrust before
every Christian man so plainly he can
not eject or reject il. 1t il going to be All
out and ont battle between drunk edness
and sobriety; between heaven and hell;
between God and the devil. Take sides
before there is any further natural deca-
dence. Take sides before your sons are
sacrificed, and the new home OF our
daughter goes down under the alcohol
ism Of an inebriated husband. Take
sides while your voice, your pen, your
prayer, your vote, may have any lnfiu-
ence in arresting the despoliation of this
nation.-1dtnsdge.

The Long and the Short Of 1t.

We had the pleasure of call yesterday
from Mr.. ]. D. Alewine. school trustee of Dia.
mond Hill township. He says that the town.
ship had 500, of public school money in 1886,
and In that year the schools were kept open
for only four months. In 1887 the township
had but $500. but by reduction of teachers
salaries the trustees have been able to keep
the schools open in 1887 for six months, and
no teacher has quit The serrice because Of that re-
duction in salary.
This, we think, is practical demonstration
OF the good results of the application of plain
common sense TO the schools. Let the good
work go on. A further reduction in salaries.
and q further extention Of the school term is
possible. II SIS q month is paid next year the
children will be gamers. The price OF teach
ing in the "old field schools before the was
i've cents a day, when paid by the Govern
ment, but parents ordinarily promised and
paid dollar month for each child.

An Error Into which the school Au'
thOrities Have Fallen.

1t has been suggested to us that the annual
meeting at Abbeville Of all the school trus-
tees in the entire county to regulate the sala-
ries of teachers for the whole county. Is mis-
take 1t Is held that the annual meeting for
the regulation of salaries refers solely and ab-
solutely to the different townships-that
instead of a county meeting, q township
meeting should be held.
What the law Is we do not pretend to say,
but the suggestion is based on common sense.
Why should trustees at Abbeville attempt to
control the trustees at Nlnety-SiA, Diamond
Hill, or Mccormick?
Let the trustees In each township regulate
the pay Of their own teachers. They know
the situation in their respective neighbor-
hoods better than do trustees living at great
distances The Abbeville trustees in 1886 act
ed on this principle when the county meeting
OF trustees ordered an increase of pay. They
refused to be governed oy the order to in
crease the salary. and paid only the price pre-
viously paid.

There and Back.

Dear Ncighbor: About my trip to
Concord last Saturday-little to say.
Left home unwell, came back Sabbath
night no better. My two Sunday Schools
joined with the Baptists at Leesville on
their "children's day." l preached as
we'll us could to the Concord people that
came out.
On reaching Leesville Saturday l fell
into the hands Of my attentive and kind
friend w. Greene Mitchell. He took inc
to the home Of himself and mother. The
attention and care of Sister Mitchell and
her son Greene, as manifested to the sick
preacher, impressed us rs sensibly as did
the fever--and will last long after I get
over the fever. l forced myself to write
this much and am altogether willing to
stop. $. II. b.

1t will be Seen that In the majority Of the
roads there was little or no change made in
the last years assessment, but In regard to n
the Eutawville, and the savannah Valley
railroads. the assessments were changed to a
very marked degree. Last year the average
assessment per mile was S6,la4 while this as
sessmcnt makes the average about SG.O5O per
mile. There are four roads assessed this year
